\[<C) REVISION OF TIIR NATURAL ORDER BIGNONIACEvE. 



authors, renamed tlie genus Jjar/aropi/x/.s, but bccotning aware of the 

 oversight, cancelled his name at a subsequent date (Ann. 1. c. iii. 

 p. 53). The founders of the genus only knew one species, viz. 

 E. stt'lcta, which they tliought might prove identical, as indeed it 

 has done, with IMunie's Spathodea (jlayidalom from Java. Bureau 

 (Adansonia, 1. c.) added a second species from the Philippine .Is- 

 lands, where it, amongst others, bears the name of " Banaibanai ;" 

 but he overlooked the fact that this plant had been described already 

 by Bhuico in his 'Flora de Filipinas,' p. 501, and transferred to De 

 CandoUe's ' Prodromus,' under the name of Milling tonia pinnata. A 

 third species was added by Miquel (A.nn. 1. c. iii. p. 250), founded upon 

 Teijsmann's and Binnendyck's Spathodea Lohhi. Finally, I now add 

 as fourth and fifth species, R. amoena, Seem. (Bitj/nonia amoena. Wall.), 

 and E. qiiadripinna, Seem. {Millimj tonia qitadripinna, Blanco). 



The leaves in *S^. glandulosa are stated to be always simply pinnate, 

 whilst 8. pinnata (Banaibanai) is said to have bipinnate leaves, but 

 according to Blanco's description, they are simply pinnate ; and in one 

 of Cuming's specimens from the Philippine Islands they are so, but 

 in the other bipinnate. Most probably in all the species the lower 

 leaves are bi- or even decomposito-pinnate, and the upper tending 

 towards simple pinnate. The tube of the corolla is described as glabrous 

 in the genus, but in E. amoena and E. (juadripinna it is decidedly hairy.
